      Hello,

      I'm trying to get ZTE MF683 working it is in the known working list but does not seem to work. Does anyone have experience with it? I have done the disable cdrom. I have also used usb_modswitch. Using the following shell command I get the following?

      /usr/local/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 0x19d2 -p 0x2000 -V 0x19d2 -p 0x0157 -I -W

      Take all parameters from the command line

      • usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
      • Version 2.2.0 (C) Josua Dietze 2014
      • Based on libusb1/libusbx

      ! PLEASE REPORT NEW CONFIGURATIONS !

      TargetVendor=  0x19d2
      NeedResponse=0

      InquireDevice=1

        trying to use one of these modems as well 4 years later after this post...

        iSerialNumber = 0x0004 <MF6830TMOD010000>
        bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

        doesn't seem like this is recognized by the u3g driver ... I don't see any sign of that in the dmesg ...

          so I fixed this. I plugged the modem into a win box, connected to the serial port then

          AT+ZCDRUN=E
          this enters the modem into the download mode disabling the drives altogether. (AT+ZCDRUN=8 did NOT work for me)

          this is being saved in the nvram.

          plugged it back in, worked right away !
